Programs for universities
Four-week programs for university groups in Assisi, in January or in summer. Italian every morning in small classes, the town and its region in the afternoons, weekends in Florence and Rome. We take care of everything on the ground: teaching, housing, activities and day-to-day support, so your office deals with one partner.
January Term
January in Assisi
Four weeks in January, inside a typical J-term and back home before the spring semester. In January Assisi belongs to the people who live there: quiet basilicas, Italian in the streets, no tour groups.
January 2028 · 3–28 January or 10 January – 4 February
Summer
Summer in Assisi
Four weeks in June or July, with the town at its liveliest: festivals, concerts and long evenings in the piazza. Faculty-led groups, or individual students looking for summer credits.
